HEALTH

How much control can you possibly hope to exert within your reality when you can’t control your own body?

Why talk about health and fitness in an occult book? Because a vast portion, if not (disturbingly) the majority, of the audience for this book struggle with their weight, health, and overall fitness levels. Did I just call you fat? Maybe, probably, but guess what, if you want to HAVE THE POWER then the first place to start is your own body. I’m not attacking positive body image, what I’m attacking is ignorance, laziness, and wasted potential.

The people who typically (in our modern world) who gravitate towards the occult arts, witchcraft, or pagan/alt religious paths are people who have, for one reason or another, found the world “as it is” to be unsatisfactory. We reject the world as it is presented to us, and we seek out the alternatives. Many of us find magick.

Ever heard the phrase “If you meet a hot witch you know she’s got to be crazy” before? I know I’ve heard it plenty, and generally the statement holds true. The attractive people, the pretty people, they typically have an easier time with life, and more often than not don’t actually end up getting into the occult. The few “popular kids” who get into the occult world are the exception, and (in my experience) are the stereotypical “damaged” person, though there are those who certainly do have the power.

I’m saying throw away your notions of sexy, popular, who got into the occult or why, and focus on being healthy. In fact, for we happy few who choose to step up and be the shapers of reality, there should be a striving towards something a cut above “healthy”. I’m not saying you need to hit the gym for four hours a day for seven days a week. I’m saying get a few push-ups and sit-ups into your daily life, get a walk in a few times a week (sidenote: who knows what you’ll find when you walk instead of drive, walkers attract adventure).
